The Frieze of Life

The Frieze of Life

Artist Edvard Munch based a series of his work on every aspect of human existence using themes such as love, fear, death and jealousy. Together he gave this collection the title: ‘Frieze of Life’: A Poem about Life, Love and Death and exhibited it for the first time in Berlin in 1902.>br> Rambags’ unique voice, laid over sparce, atmospheric arrangements echo the brooding landscapes and scenes of melancholic figures that define Munch’s work. Her voice soars, cries, sobs…a barely audible whisper, or a repeated word like a tribal song over a drumbeat and viola and all the while conjuring up brooding painted landscapes.

In 2018 this music premiered on November Music. After a couple of years the music got finally recorded, and now they are ready to be heard again and for always.. A quote from a review of the concert at November Music:

‘There are moments when, under the influence of goose bumps and moist eyes, we are drawn to the edge of our seats, driven once we are part of a scenario where feelings of fear dominate.’ – Progjazz

Line up: Sanne Rambags – voice, poetry and compositions, Roosmarijn Tuenter – viola, voice, effects, Jeroen van Vliet – piano and effects, Joost Lijbaart – drums and percussion.
